What religion do you follow?

[Richie_B]

I'm just curious as to how diverse the religions are of our community. I'm a Catholic. What about everyone else?

I am a Hellenistic pagan who adheres to the philosophical works and dialogues of the Athenian Greek philosopher Plato.

I am split in my religious preference, it all seems to me that religion was invented by a ruling class to keep the masses of people under control.

You can find a common trend in most religions where you are rewarded for being what one would typically call a good member of society whereas the opposite applies for the bad apples of the bunch.

I'm an atheist, though "lack of belief" doesn't really constitute its own religion. I've yet to find convincing evidence validating any kind of religion.

I agree with this. The idea of a God or anything of the like, just seems too implausible.

I'm with you here... Though I clicked agnostic because sometimes, you gotta wonder...

I second that opinion. but I also have my own.

I believe that religion is something invented by man to comfort himself from the fear of the unknown. For example, let's take death. Most religions have life after death. Why? Is it that there truly IS an afterlife, or is it that humanity is scared of death? Is it that we want to continue living, even after we have died? Is it that we want to watch the world go by and look at what happens?

But is that really a good thing? Reincarnation is a cycle of life and death, but wouldn't it eventually get tiresome of continually being reborn? Or, if there is a Heaven, wouldn't it be frustrating to watch the world sink into chaos and knowing that you can do nothing?

There are many.... dilemmas facing religious beliefs, in my eyes.

This is my opinion on religion.

I do know a guy who's a Zoroastrian. He's cool.

What I believe Religion is, is a primitive form of a court. A Thing that could see every crime, a thing that could JUDGE the people. Let me take a Medieval example, Joan D'Arc. She was put on fire because they belived she was a witch, and because she was crazy (Or something related to that.). And they said that witchery was forbidden, by the Holy Lord, God himself. They came to her, and said: "God has seen thy foul deeds, and by his Holy Name, you are sentenced to death."

So... you're saying people invented religon to jutify what they decide?

Yes. Nowadays when we have cops and all of that, we don't need the God's judges.
